I’ve been waiting to Laura Gibson at a concert, after her amazing performance at Nelsonville Music Festival back in 2019. I became a little concerned when I saw the dates scheduled (Columbus / Akron) overlapped a camping trip I had already scheduled. Luckily schedules aligned and I was able to bring a friend along to the Columbus show, on our way camping (thanks Cassie!).
The house and the host were both delightful. Laura brought us all into the den area with only like 8-10 folks in attendance for an incredibly intimate experience (hence no video). Her songwriting, storytelling, and overal presence was designed for a house concert. This one will go down as one of my favorite performances of all time.
